Besides that, it just feels odd to build new in the cloud and then have to rely on on-prem technology. Currently we do AD to AAD to AADDS to WWD which doesn't feel right... :S

- CloudCasper AADDS multi-region (replica sets) were around for some time now: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/concepts-replica-sets
As per the AD to AAD to AADDS, how much time have you spend on AADDS management (genuine question)? In my experience right operational approach with scoped sync makes it pretty much "set and forget".
BTW, I fully agree that option with AAD as the only Identity source for WVD should be available and will make a lot of difference for small deployments in particular.
